Book a Carruba Resort

"The property was beautiful and the entire staff was so helpful and accommodating. Nothing was of want. From the front desk staff, to the restaurant and bar waitstaff as well as the housekeeping and maintenance, every was great. We felt right at home and very welcomed. They even assisted with helping book certain day trips and booking revaluations before our arrival. Would highly recommend and wonderful for parents traveling with children! "

"Clean, comfortable hotel with excellent breakfast and wonderful, accommodating staff. The front desk could not have been more helpful."

"Wonderful property. Convenient to center of Taormina. Staff was wonderful and full of great information. Buffet breakfast was amazing and the views from the hotel were spectacular. "

"A great hotel in the perfect location. Staff excellent, rooms and amenities perfect."

"Wonderful and quaint! Beautiful views, the pool Is amazing!"

"Amazing stay. The room and property were gorgeous and the view was even better. It was a short walk to restaurants and the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Just far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to be convenient. I highly recommend staying here!"

"Wonderful location and service"

"I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights with my older teenage son at the end of June and we had a fantastic time. It's very well located with a 3 minute walk into Taormina town plus a cliff side setting with amazing views down to the sea, across to mainland Italy and the wider area around Taormina. Our room was a bit of a squeeze but they accommodated our request for two single beds, rather than a double, and it came with a fabulous view of the sea. The air con was highly appreciated due to the high temperatures and the room met all our basic needs. It was slightly dated but did not spoil the enjoyment of our holiday plus the beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was included and was buffet-style which suited us perfectly. The staff were mainly very helpful and polite - Giuseppe on the pool bar was excellent, all the reception staff were super helpful and polite, plus Nancy in the dining room was always smiling and happy to make me fresh coffees in the morning! They all spoke good English which we were thankful for. We ate at the hotel restaurant once while we there, it was empty apart from us but the food was delicious and the service was efficient and friendly. I would happily stay at the Splendid hotel again, if I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Taormina, and would highly recommend it based on all the above plus the reasonable cost. "

"The location is perfect to explore Taormina with shops, restaurants and tourist attractions within a few minutes walk. The hotel itself is unique built into the cliff and the views are breathtaking. The pool is clean is spacious and always had sun loungers available. Our room was fairly basic but it was extremely clean! The front desk could be a little bit more friendly, but overall the staff across the hotel were fine. Be aware that the hotel does not offer an iron or ironing board, which was pretty inconvenient. Overall, I’d highly recommend this hotel due to its location in Taormina. "
